How did I manage to captain Fogarty in the only game he’s done bad and Raiders won 41-8

Should have an EFIG? Right at the end of 80 mins if I remember correctly

Waddell as MID/EDG cover is an option but sort of feels too easy?

Hard to ignore the ~100k discount on Nikora for me. Gotta grab the keepers when they bottom out and figure the rest out later. I thought I'd have excess WFBs by now, but they've been dropping like flies and I might have to grab Chester if Iro isn't retained and Campbells might be off the menu.

Waddell could be worth a punt. Priced at 30 next week and averages ~40 at edge.. BE probably low, so might make the cash if he strings a few starts together. Might be the Manly jersey, but doesn't really do it for me. Already been trading like crazy, need some keepers.

Yeah definitely. It’s just identifying the cheap keepers for me. I was always get shy when and ask myself why they have dropped so much.

Nikora definitely an option. We need a list of cheap keepers

Yeah I get a bit nervous about the injury related ones. Nikora with a quiet Rd 1, then was having a bit of a bludger Rd 2 and got sinbinned to really fuck his price. Returns in the cooler whether and knocks out 58 in tackles and RM. Feels a pretty safe pick til season's end. Never know if Robbo starts benching Angus in final teams at some point and needs to be moved once he peaks.

I had Nikora at the backend of last year and it was a frustrating time. 

Too be honest as long as I can see the back of Levi and Hutch I’ll be happy

WT Winfield wrote:

Yeah I remember successfully deathriding him at the end of last season. Definitely needs tries with some regularity. I'll grab Angus and maybe Hynes, which rules out Nikora cash wise. Then probably look at Blore or Chester.

Can't wait for Hutch to GTFO aswell. Tatola right behind him. Wanted to punt Levi also, but probably have to move Cook on since Souths are keen on being losers for awhile longer.

Nikora definitely an option. After this week should be priced at 44, only has an average of 49 on the edge so not sure if a true keeper?

Wait another week/two for Bateman imo

Didn’t you start out like a shower of shit last year as well Rev? I seem to remember you being top Rd 1 or 2?

Clearys availability this week would be nice. As much as I want Hynes I think I’ll be staying away until Origin comes around. Just too many guys to move on and not enough money.

BCT05 wrote:As Camo pointed out the other day, once you have KPP and Angus that's your rd13 edge slots filled. Not necessarily a reason not to buy Nikora but it's not ideal. In all likelihood something will happen to one of them between now and then anyway, it's a long way off.

Given the carnage I've had and max trading I think I'll have to start highly considering rd13 for most of my trade in's now. No room for sideways trades closer to the time. So will probably just have to grab Brailey for Cook this week even though I'd love to go Grant.

- Ponga should be ok with 10 day turnaround
- Kamikamica has history of calf probs, maybe 4-6 weeks. Nelson time?
- Tevaga hammy looked high grade, best case 6-8
- Burbo 4th tear same hammy since start of 2023, even low grade might be 3-5 weeks
- no info on Nanai
- Munro looks like 3rd collarbone fracture. Collarbones notorious for taking 4-6 months to strengthen even after fracture is healed, hence the re-breaks
- Campbell - is concerned, even best case looks a few weeks. Similar mechanism to last year injury but different knee. Possible has “weak knees” (my phrasing but was discussed)

I might have forgotten some. Mention a player and will respond
